The trip

Same Format.
New Province.
Fewer Tourists.

East from Chiang Mai into Nan Province — mountain roads with almost no traffic, traditional Tai Lue weaving villages, some of the most untouched scenery in northern Thailand. A completely different feel from the Chiang Mai loop.

We piloted this route as a small group in December 2026 — it delivered. Refined every detail. Now it's a full trip with 10 spots. Same CB500X, same SEAM format, brand new country experience.
